Digital BW, The Print

Just thought I would toss out a little price-per-print info for anyone
kicking around the idea of getting one of these printers.  All pricing
is based on US numbers.

HP specifies the approximate page yield of the No. 59 gray cartridge
to be 110 4x6 prints:

That extrapolates down to about 33 8x10 prints.  At $25 a cart your
ink costs would be approximately $.76 per 8x10.

So for your different papers:

HP Premium Photo glossy letter size (C6979A), 50 sheets is about $30,
for $.60 per sheet.
HP Premium Plus Photo glossy letter size (Q1785A), 50 sheets is about
$36, for $.72 per sheet.
HP Premium Plus Photo matte letter size (C6950A), 20 sheets is about
$16, for $.80 per sheet.

Keep in mind HP inks are dye-based.  To get the advertised print life
you need to use the HP inks and the HP papers.  Non-swellable,
non-encapsulating papers will greatly reduce your print life.

Just in case anyone was curious.
